The Rhea must be the most feature-laden phono preamp ever made. In addition to having three inputs (which lets you use multiple 'tables or multiple arms on the same 'table), the Rhea offers variable gain and loading, with independent settings for each input. A built-in cartridge demagnetizer sends a pulse through the cartridge to remove residual magnetism. A front-panel display indicates gain and loading. All features are available from the remote control. This means you can sit in the listening chair and adjust phono loading and gain or multiple cartridges. These features are an analog-lover's dream come true.
